Stephanie, What a great strategy. Many of them don't understand time management. I know that sounds stupid but they underestimate the time it takes to learn. Learning takes time! Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Stephanie, You are right about prompt feedback. Our institution requires us to give a statement of feedback regarding grading. It sets our expectations. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Tomi, Do you give students a choice to accept them? What happens if the don't? Is that flunking? Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Identifying Principles of Learning

Tomi, Thank you for you comment. We tend to ignore unintentionally the interaction among our students. That is what separates us from correspondence courses. BTW, I love your quote. Mine similar to that is "yes the course is student center but that also means student responsible." Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Identifying Principles of Learning

Christina, What a great post! You get it!!!! It is important that the objectives drive the course not the textbook. Accreditation really makes this a reality. It is important to student success. We build in the real world application within the objectives. The textbook is just a tool. I have colleagues using open sources instead of textbooks. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Technology Assessment Tools

Sabrina, Do you give exams that students can take over their phones. I have tried and didn't have much success as they are not reliable within our system. Does your institution consider a smart phone as an appropriate tool for taking an online course? Just curious . . . . Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Technology Assessment Tools

Valerie, You make such great points. It amazes me how many times I hear institutions using technology for high stakes testing and the students have never used the technology and the administrators have never tested it ability to provide "service" as the assessment. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
